guess what cookbook is featured this week at my new local green grocer? that's right your man david is the highlight of yumminess this week + strangely enough i made the salmon and cucumber salad last night...perfect eating for this insane heatwave going on.

happy first day of fall my essness!have you got on a fabulous cape and some great boots on as you walk through the changing leaves?it was feeling like fall here all week which lead to some soup adventures but now it is back to blue skies + sunshine.when i want a convenient and delicious soup hit, i head to a place near me in atwater village called viet. it's a fresher version of your traditional pho soup and hits the spot everytime.the top bowl is a vegetarian pho with tofu and shitakes in a lemongrass broth.the next is a ginger fish noodle soup finished with fried onion bits + bean sprouts.both are so full of flavour you won't even miss the beef.

and then there is the pot of soup under construction on my stove top.the chicken stock is made but not sure which direction to go with the soup.any suggestions? feeling like something outside the chicken noodle box.xjay

when these lovely, even dorky photographs of kate moss first appeared, they made me reconsider fashion, or perhaps finally consider is a more apt description. taken by the photographer corinne day in 1990, when moss was just fifteen, they were kind of revolutionary.

went by the gallery yesterday and when i saw these immediately thought of the conversation with you and TR on meeting guys while you sit in the bar talking about craft projects.smiled when i saw these by artist lisa borgnes and thought you would like.they are quite large as well 54" x 44" and are embroidered cotton thread on burlap.

good double rainbow clip ... makes me yearn for you and the gals and our shenanigans in the woods.
